Face of a Stone Age man whose head was mounted on a stake revealed through facial reconstruction


The world may never know why a Stone Age man's head was placed on a stake and tossed into an underwater grave, but now it will see his face. The facial muscles and skin were formed using different factors such as the man's weight, height and ethnicity. Although there is no evidence of what the man wore, Nilsson made choices on the wardrobe and haircut based on items found in the grave. Researchers uncovered the man's skull, along with the 12 others, in 2018. These may have been the result of interpersonal violence, forced abduction, warfare and aids of socially-sanctioned violence between group members.
